About 70 civil society groups in Lagos State have endorsed the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for the 2019 elections.
The groups said their decision to endorse the APC candidate was based on the outcome of the integrity test conducted on all the governorship candidates in the state.
They claimed Sanwo-Olu led other candidates in all the parameters used by the organisations.
Speaking at an interactive session with Sanwo-Olu, the leader of the groups, Rasaq Olokoba, said the candidate symbolised the progressive thinking and yearnings of the generality of the Non-Governmental Organisations in the state.
He said the state was on another journey of social justice, welfare and good governance.
He said, “There is a resolve that Lagos State will never fall in the hands of reactionary leaders. What we have witnessed are successive progressive governments in this state.
“So, we are very delighted that a great leader like Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu is the candidate of the APC.
“We want a government that will listen to and answer the cries of the people with little or no voice in the society and we are very convinced that Sanwo-Olu is the answer. He has overwhelmingly surpassed other candidates in our integrity test.
“That is the reason we are openly endorsing him and giving our commitment to his victory in the coming election.”
